Synopsis

THE STORY: One winter night a woman bakes a pie as a girl tries to finish her college essay.

As the deadline looms, unexamined issues of the girl's adoption from Russia, the rupture of her parents divorce, and the fear of leaving home break through the surface as the mother cajoles, deflects, and maneuvers around her own feelings of sadness and loss.

Unfolding in real time, Memory House is about a young and an older woman who are forced to grapple with the past as they face an uncertain future.

A funny and moving story about the complexity of living in the world today.
